WHAT TO EAT 

T here is, I believe, not one person out of ten 
who understands how to eat. Not one out 
of a hundred living in America knows how to 
eat unless he or she has taken a course in scien¬ 
tific eating. 

To guide us in the proper way of eating instinct is 
not enough. Man breathes, but there is not one out 
of a hundred who breathes properly. This is due to 
wrong custom. Man sleeps, yet most people do not 
know how to sleep to get the maximum amount of 
relaxation, rest and body building. So instinct is not 
enough in guiding us how to eat, how to breathe or 
how to sleep. 

I acquired a knowledge of “scientific eating” be¬ 
cause I was forced into it, just for the same reason 
most people take up psychology for physical healing, 
because everything else has failed—they have been 
forced into it. 

For many, many years I suffered from sick head¬ 
ache and held the palm as a prize winner in the con¬ 
stipation race. Doctors could give no relief. Medicine 
failed. My sick headaches became so frequent and 
so violent that life was not worth living, and I said 
dozens of times that if I ever had another such 
attack of sick headache, I would rather die. Anyone 
who has ever had a real old fashioned sick headache 
knows what I am talking about. 

When my sick headaches first began to appear, I 
thought they were hereditary, because my father had 

NOTE—This book “What to Eat” does not purport to give the 
whole scientific course of eating which Dr. Bush teaches, but 
merely to make scientific eating attractive, and easy for the 
housewife to vary salads and menus, and help to firmly establish 
right eating in every home in the country. 

The relative values of foods and a complete course in Scientific 
Eating is outlined in “Practical Psychology and Sex Life, by the 
author.

suffered with sick headaches for many years. (By 
the way, I no longer believe in this hereditary stuff 
relative to anything.) Then as my headaches had a 
frequency of every four weeks, culminating as a rule 
on Sunday, I decided that it must be due to the fact 
that, being a minister, I was working like blazes all 
week in the various duties of my charge and then 
the last two days was driving myself at top speed, 
running on all cylinders, stepping on the gas and 
breaking the speed limit of health. So I thought 
that my sick headaches came from overstrain and 
overwork, coupled with the great anxiety and nervous 
tension worked up in getting my sermons ready and 
then in putting them over. 

When my sick headaches attained a frequency of 
every week, usually reaching their climax on Sunday, 

I was cock-sure it was from nervous strain. My 
physician ordered me to take a rest, to lay off and 
quit overdoing. He told me that I could never be 
well unless I let up on my work. 

I took his advice and found a little rest helped 
some but then the old headaches came back again, so 
I was forced to try, at the recommendation of one of 
my close friends, the right kind of eating. A complete 
definition of this I shall give to my readers. 

When I was first told that I ate too much, I in¬ 
formed my good friend that he did not know what he 
was talking about, for I was always hungry. The old 
idea that a man must get up from the table hungry 
I followed most religiously. Not that I did not eat 
all that I could eat, for I ate until I nearly busted. 
Still when I left the table I was hungry. 

Ninety per cent of Americans are starving to 
death on too much to eat! 

That is, they eat more than their digestive appar¬ 
atus can well handle and yet are not satisfied because 
they do not eat the right kind of food for nourish¬ 
ment. They eat too much of the wrong kind of food. 


4 


So we are a nation starving to death by over-eating. 
But when my sick headaches were approaching I al¬ 
ways noticed this: I had a most feverish appetite. 
I could hardly refrain from eating more and yet 
every mouthful I put in my stomach seemed to send 
a thunderbolt of pain into my head. It was a desper¬ 
ate choice between eating and headaches, starving and 
not knowing what was the matter with me. Being 
ignorant of the real cause of my trouble, I chose to 
eat rather than starve, and so my headaches continued. 

I had been reared under the old idea that a man 
must eat and eat and eat, and all the physicians who 
were called upon to try to cure me of sick headaches 
asked me if I had a good appetite. Sure I had. That 
seemed to satisfy the good doctors. 

But what was my appetite? It was an abnormal 
craving for food, just as the man who forms the 
habit of drinking whiskey gets an abnormal appetite 
for more whiskey. I had an abnormal appetite for 
food but it was for the wrong kind of food. It is 
obvious that I did not eat the kind of food that gave 
nourishment to sustain my body and, at the same time, 
satisfy the craving of my appetite. 

Meantime, the doctors clung to the old fashioned 
home remedy idea in which I had been reared—that 
if a man can eat, he ought to be well. 

For this reason many mothers make their children 
eat a big breakfast before going to school thinking 
the youngsters will die of starvation before dinner 
if they do not so stuff them. A morning appetite is 
another abnormally developed appetite. 

I used to eat three big meals a day, with plenty 
of sweets and candies between meals. I feel much 
better now without eating any breakfast, but at the 
beginning I shall not urge this upon my good readers, 
I prefer that they follow the outline as given jn this 
book for a year or more until they feel of their own 
free will and accord like trying my no-breakfast plan. 

5 


Neither the doctors nor myself had ever suspected 
that a man can eat too much, or that he can have 
an abnormally developed appetite. I discovered this 
for myself by noticing that besides craving more food, 
just before my sick headache appeared, I craved candy 
and ate a tremendous amount of it every day. I no 
longer care for candy. In fact I cannot eat it without 
downright effort. This is the reason: 

Just as a man can create a false appetite for more 
whiskey and for more “smokes,” I discovered that I 
had created an abnormal appetite for cooked foods and 
sugar. 

I believe that sugar creates an appetite for more 
sugar, and the more sugar one eats the more he craves 
it and the stronger the appetite for sugar, eating it 
creates. I can best illustrate by calling sugar a para¬ 
site. When we eat a little sugar we are setting up 
a false appetite for more sugar. In time we eat so 
much sugar the system, having no need for it, is unable 
to absorb it, and has difficulty in eliminating it. Sugar 
therefore, becomes like a barnacle inside. The bigger 
the barnacle, the more the system craves sugar. The 
barnacle grows and grows until tumors, cancers and 
all sorts of internal growths are the outcome. 

I no longer crave sugar because I eat mostly un¬ 
fired foods. Vegetables and fruits in their natural 
state contain about 10 per cent sugar thus when 
the food is not cooked, the system gets enough sugar. 
When we cook our food, the sugar, like other min¬ 
erals and salts, is cooked out of the food. 

Eating too much cooked food and stuffing contin¬ 
uously, of course, overworks the alimentary tract and 
constipation follows. 

By eating raw diet, I cured my constipation in less 
than three days and stopped sick headaches forever. 

I give below that which cured me. Not only do I 
believe it will cure eighteen out of twenty cases of 
acute digestic disease but it will make everyone who 

6 


follows the diet feel better, so that he will have 
more strength and energy for his daily task. 

When we overeat and stuff ourselves, we put an 
abnormal amount of work upon the digestic organs. 
The energy then spent in digesting our food is so 
much energy wasted, and we cannot apply ourselves 
to our respective vocations. Anyone who will follow 
the kind of diet outlined below will, I firmly believe, 
have two or three hours’ more strength and energy 
daily to spend in other ways. 

The purpose of this book is to give the average 
person who has been raised on cooked foods the best, 
that is to say, the scientific way, to eat from the 
beginning. 

What we eat is a subconscious habit. 

Dr. W. J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., one of the 
most famous surgeons in the world, speaking to the 
American College of Surgeons, in session at Chicago 
in October, 1923, is reported to have said: 

“Certain often misunderstood ailments result from 
the clash when the conscious mind attempts to gain 
control over the unconscious”—or as Dr. Mayo termed 
them—“the negative functions.” 

“This combat,” he asserted, “comes when the con¬ 
scious mind attempts to force the unconscious body 
to accept food, drink or physic which the latter sim¬ 
ply won’t have. The stuff is rejected, or, the uncon¬ 
scious being refuses to digest it or function normally 
in other ways. When the conscious is severely dis¬ 
ciplined and mends his ways, the unconscious takes up 
his duties again. 

“These combats extend all through the life of man,” 
Dr. Mayo said. “When a person says, ‘I’ve never been 
sick in all my life,’ it means the unconscious mind 
has had almost complete control.” 

We very often hear people say that they cannot 
eat fruits or live on a raw diet. Dr. Mayo has an- 


7 


swered them. Through unnatural habits of eating 
which have been cultivated in modern cookery, the 
conscious mind has, to a great degree, forced the 
unconscious mind or subconscious to accept food and 
drink which the system should not have. The con¬ 
tinued suggestion of wrong diet and the continual 
eating of this wrong diet has been accepted by the 
digestive tract of man, but it has been accepted under 
protest. Man has to live, and eating is one part 
of his living. If he does not eat the right thing, then 
he, of necessity, eats the wrong. Something must 
go into his breadbasket to keep up his physical steam 
until, at last, an absolutely wrong habit of eating 
has been formed. 

But the subconscious mind still rebels. The cooked 
diet, the food which the conscious mind has forced 
the body to take, is not nature’s way. So man be¬ 
comes sick and after he has taken the wrong kind 
of diet for a long time it may be a little difficult for 
him at once to change to the natural regime of eating, 
namely, fruits and other raw diet. 

It may take a little patience on the part of the 
person to eat a little fruit and other raw diet now 
and then along with the cooked foods until there has 
been a re-education of the mind and body to accept 
nature’s kind of sustenance. 

When we understand that we eat what we do 
because of our heritage and habit, it is easy to see 
that the average person cannot swing too quickly from 
wrong diet to the right. It is more or less of a 
gradual process. Therefore, while we believe in the 
elimination entirely of all meats, sugars, salts and all 
ultra-refined foods, and recommend an unfired diet 
almost entirely, yet we are not dogmatic about this 
for the beginner. 

Right eating, like right thinking, is a matter of 
evolution and gradual growth. 

The person who thinks negative thoughts, who looks 
on the dark side of life, and who has spent a lifetime 

8 


in a pessimistic rut will probably require a little time 
to change his thinking, but IT CAN BE DONE . 
The same with eating—right eating can be done. 
Therefore, to make it appear to the novitiate in scien¬ 
tific eating that we are safe and sane, we do not 
recommend that the ordinary beginner follow a regime 
or diet too foreign to that he has been accustomed to. 

We do feel sure and know that thousands upon 
thousands of people have used this book, “What to 
Eat,” as a bridge upon which to cross over from the 
old method to the new, and strongly urge the reader 
to give a trial to eliminating gradually meats, sugars 
and salts. 

While some people can break off immediately, it 
takes others months and even years to get the old 
habit of wrong eating corrected and the right way 
adapted. 

As stated elsewhere “What to Eat” does not pur¬ 
port to give a full regimen of scientific eating, but is 
a preliminary step toward right eating. The author 
is aware that it is a most difficult thing for the 
majority of people to break their old habits of eating 
and begin too much of a changed way of partaking 
of life’s essentials. 

We are therefor making the following suggestions 
preparatory to getting one ready to take the next step 
and really become a scientific eater for health, long 
life and happiness. 

Generally speaking, then, eliminate white bread, 
(using whole-wheat, good graham or rye bread in¬ 
stead), potatoes and sugars. 

Take wheat bread, for instance—the ordinary, nice- 
looking “snow-flake flour” white bread. This has 
been put through a process to produce a good-looking 
bread, instead of a good nourishing bread. The hulls, 
which are worth more than the polished kernel, have 
been taken off; the ordinary white bread has had 

9 


extracted from the flour 87^4 per cent of the nutri¬ 
tion, so you have to eat 87j4 times as much of the 
ordinary white bread as you would bread made from 
the whole wheat. 

Bread is often called the “staff of life,” but accord¬ 
ing to our standard it might be called the “staff of 
death.” It is not only subjected to the devitalizing 
process of baking, but it is infected with a germ that 
converts a large amount of the nutritive value of 
the grain into carbon-dioxide poison. 

Most all cooked foods should be eliminated. This 
is not an easy thing, however, for the beginner, but 
people who live according to a raw diet, or unfired 
foods, have a normal healthy body, a clear skin, no 
excess flesh and a wonderful amount of endurance. 
They do not have to depend on drugs for health. 

People who follow this kind of a diet will have 
better health, more brains and live much longer. 

It would be better if meat and all cooked foods 
were eliminated, but because this is such a habit 
among American peoples, we offer the following sug¬ 
gestions. If one will follow these and then add 
from time to time more unfired foods of all kinds, 
eliminating cooked foods, meat, starches, sugar and 
salts, it would still be much better, but the follow¬ 
ing will give you the right kick-off. 

FOR THOSE WHO EAT MEAT AS WELL AS 
THOSE WHO DO NOT 

Generally speaking, proteins and starches should not 
be eaten at the same meal. 

Starch will be found in the following: 

Irish Potatoes and Rice (unpolished) 

Sweet Potatoes Hubbard Squash 

Chestnuts 


10 


Bread and Butter 
Navy Beans 
Dry Lima Beans 


Dry Peas 

Bananas 

Pumpkins 


Protein food will be found in the following: 


Meats of all kinds 
Fowl of all kinds 
Sea foods of all kinds: 
Oysters, lobsters, 
crabs, fish, mussels 
Milk 


Game of all kinds 


Cheese 

Eggs 


Non-starchy vegetables will mix with either pro¬ 
teins or starches. 


Non-starchy vegetables are: 


Rutabaga 

Asparagus 

Cucumbers 

Cauliflower 

Oyster Plant or Salsify 

String Beans 

Summer Squash 

Brussel Sprouts 

Dandelion Greens 

Green Lima Beans 

Kohlrabi 

Parsnips 

Spinach 

Cabbage 


Beets 

Okra 

Lotus 

Garlic 

Carrots 

Lettuce 

Endives 

Celery 

Turnips 

Radishes 

Green Corn 

Green Peas 

Egg Plant 


Fresh fruits should not be eaten with starches be¬ 
cause they have an acid content varying from two to 
three per cent up to twelve or fourteen per cent. 
This acid in the juices of the fruits, neutralizes the 

11 


plyalin of the saliva. By fresh fruits we mean oranges, 
grape-fruit, grapes, apples, plums, prunes, pears, cher¬ 
ries and other fruits in season. 

Fresh fruits when eaten with proteins do not inter¬ 
fere with the digestion inasmuch as the protein digests 
in an acid medium. 

A better way then is not to eat fresh fruits with 
starches—eat them with proteins. 

So one should not eat starch and proteins at the 
same meal. Only one starch and one protein should 
be partaken of at a meal. Eat a large dish of salad 
at least once a day, twice a day would be much better. 
Eat plentifully of non-starchy vegetables and salads 
with starch meals and fresh fruits and salads with 
protein meals. An ideal combination would be for 
one to eat a large salad, a couple of non-starchy vege¬ 
tables and a starch for a starch meal or a protein for a 
protein meal—if one is using some cooked foods. 

If one still feels as though he must have cooked 
vegetables, this will be an ideal way to proceed. It 
is better to begin eating your meal by partaking of a 
salad first. This acts much as hay in the stomach 
of a horse, a good bedding and foundation, besides 
taking the wrinkles out of your stomach. Then if 
one prefers to still use some cooked foods, use non- 
starchy vegetables so as not to over-load your stom¬ 
ach with concentrated foods. Continuing still with 
the idea of eating some cooked vegetables with your 
meals, should you want to eat a protein meal, select 
it in just the same way only substitute the protein 
for the starch. 

That means you would be eating a big salad, a 
couple of non-starchy vegetables selected from the list 
given above and any protein. 

The better way is to eliminate as much cooked food 
as possible. This book, however, is intended to start 


12 


one to the ideal way of eating, namely, raw or unfired 
diet. If it seems impossible to confine oneself wholly 
to the unfired diet, then the above will be of great aid. 

Sweet dried fruits such as dates, raisins, unsul- 
phered figs and prunes, may be eaten in moderation 
with starchy foods as their acid content is compara¬ 
tively low. They are very hearty food, however, due 
to fruit sugar being one step ahead of starches when 
eaten. We mean by that, that all starches change to 
sugar as the first step of digestion. 

Insurance statistics show that people who eat meals 
of improper mixtures, die at an average age of 43 or 
44. To add years to your life, eliminate improper 
mixtures, as we are outlining in “What to Eat.” 

Should one continue to eat cooked vegetables, make 
your salad of vegetables in the raw state, as they will 
mix with either starch or protein, but do not use 
tomatoes if you are going to eat a starch meal because 
tomatoes are acid. 

A salad made of head lettuce may be completed 
by using any vegetable or mixture of vegetables you 
may procure, such as onions, spinach, celery, carrots, 
turnips, beets, parsnips or other vegetables in season, 
eliminating tomatoes if it is a starch meal or using 
tomatoes if it is a protein meal. 

The basis of the salad may be made of cabbage 
instead of lettuce. Cut the cabbage in shreds and 
place it in cold water and let it stand for two or 
three hours. When ready to use, lift out of the water. 

If you must eat meat, it would be very much better 
to take it not more than once a day. The less fre¬ 
quently the better. Indeed, it is a safe rule not to 
eat meat more than once a day. A better rule, when 
one has reached that point, is to eliminate it entirely. 
This, however, may not be done within a week, a 
month, or even a year, but it is possible if one really 
desires to lengthen his life by right eating. 

13 


SUBSTITUTES FOR FOOD 


One of the big food evils of the day is food substi¬ 
tutes. Artificial butters, as well as artificial milks, 
should be prohibited by the law. Pasteurized milk at 
times is as bad as food substitutes. The process of 
pasteurization changes the chemical compositions of 
the milk as well as its food value. The only useful¬ 
ness of pasteurized milk is from bacterial contamina¬ 
tion. This is nearly all overcome now in most states 
by having milk produced under sanitary conditions. 
If a cow is well, free from tuberculosis, pasteuriza¬ 
tion is a useless process and is believed by many au¬ 
thorities to endanger health. 

When it comes to milk, we have put precautions 
at the wrong end of the horn. Keep the cow healthy, 
prevent sickly people from handling the milk and do 
not pasteurize it, thus robbing it of its natural dietary 
“treasures.” Grave mistakes have been made by par¬ 
ents in attempting to bring up infants on pasteurized 
or condensed milk. This has caused symptoms of 
Barlow’s Disease or infantile scurvy. 

We cannot have perfect health by having denatured 
food, substitutes of any kind, drying and canning 
foods devitalize them. By eating these, we are drying 
up our own physical vigor and “canning our own 
health.” 


ORANGE JUICE 

If you use orange juice instead of oranges, be sure 
that the orange juice is always pure orange juice, un¬ 
mixed with water or syrups, or sugar. 

The man who gets his orange juice at the corner 
drug store or in a medium class restaurant gets, as 
a rule, a much better grade of orange juice than he 
who eats at the best hotels. There are so many of 
the “common men” and there is so much competition 
for the patronage of the common man that the res- 


14 


taurant men, the hotel keepers and druggists who 
supply the eats to the masses, have to give them better 
prepared foods than do the best hotels. That is my 
opinion. So the man who gets his orange juice at the 
best hotel probably is cheating himself. 

See that your orange juice is made fresh and with 
the pulp ground up in it. Do not eliminate the pulp. 
Furthermore, mixing water with the acids of the 
orange makes the juice bitter. So, whether ordering 
orange juice at a hotel or restaurant or making it 
yourself, be sure to take it pure; no syrup, no water 
and no ice. 

If you like a warm drink, have it warmed by setting 
the pitcher in hot water but DO NOT COOK IT. 

The recipes below will help the good housewife to 
vary her menu so as to help the family become used 
to a more scientific way of eating.

DO YOU EAT POTATOES? 

One of the Salt Lake class, after hearing my talk 
on scientific eating, said she never heard before that 
potatoes were not good for you. She had always had 
them on her table. She had been suffering for a 
long time with headaches and was frequently nau¬ 
seated. She could not get rid of this sickness. Her 
supply of potatoes ran out and as it was late in the 

29 





year she thought she wouldn’t put in a stock of them, 
but would wait for new ones. She therefore had no 
more potatoes on the table for many days and she 
discovered her headache was gone and her illness had 
vanished. As she sat down she wondered why this 
long-standing headache and sickness had disappeared 
and it came to her as if someone were speaking the 
answer, “Why, you don’t have any potatoes in your 
diet.” Since eliminating potatoes from her diet she 
is completely cured of all headaches and sickness. 


EAT MORE CHEESE; LIVE A HUNDRED 

The elixir of long life consists of soured cow’s 
milk, cheese made from sheep’s milk and wheat bread, 
according to Dr. Sadowein, professor of physical chem¬ 
istry at the University of Kiev. He has located a 
village in the mountains near Temir Kahn Sura, the 
new capital of the Daghestan republic, where eighteen 
men out of a total population of 120 are more than 
100 years old. Investigation showed they ate the 
above-named foods exclusively. Many persons trans¬ 
ported here from the famine regions of central Russia 
are migrating into the mountains, where this food is 
to be had in abundance.

Practical Psychology 
and Sex Life 

N OT 1 per cent of all married people actually understand or follow 
the proper sex relations. To 80 per cent of all married women 
the approaches of their husbands are repulsive. Statistics show 
that 99 per cent of all divorces are the result of improper sex relations. 
Nearly 80 per cent of all female troubles are the result of malpractices 
and practically every case of nervousness and hysteria is the direct result 
of the lack of sex gratification. 

In his wonderful book “Practical Psychology and Sex Life” Dr. 
Bush has explained the ways of the unsatisfactory husband; what he 
should do and what he should avoid, and why. He teaches understand¬ 
ing: to the frigid wife. In clear understandable English he educates 
his readers in proper sex relationship. 

It instructs a woman in dietetics and exercising during pregnancy; and 
tells her how, should she be past her menopause, she may become sex¬ 
ually active once more. 

With a stroke of the pen he severs the ties that bind us to the ignorant 
conventions of the past. The veil of silence is wrenched away and the 
happiness and harmony that come from righteous Sex Life are made 
understandable. 

This work is an epoch-maker in the history of Practical Psychology. 
Not alone in the realm of sex life, but in every othef* phase of psychology 
it stands pre-eminent. 

It discusses the Law of Vibration and how it works for business suc¬ 
cess and prosperity; it tells you hbw to raise the rate of your vibration 
for success, health, and happiness. It provides you with the means of 
overcoming fear and worry and instructs you in how to get what you 
want. 

It reveals the secret of staying young. It teaches the methods of scien¬ 
tific sleeping, scientific feeding, and scientific breathing; the education 
of the subconscious mind and how you may put it to work for your 
success; how you may save your children from immorality. 

It shows you how you may develop the powers of hetero-suggestion and 
become a healer; how constipation may be cured and surplus flesh re¬ 
duced. 

It brings out the laws of scientific thinking, of spiritual communication 
and mental telepathy; it instructs you in scientific exercising and in 
developing the power of concentration and memory retention. 

The laws of Visualization, Abundance and Stimulation are made simple 
and understandable. The means of finding your appointed vocation and 
of following the road that leads to your success are laid down in the 
clearest, most comprehensive fashion. 

“Practical Psychology and Sex Life,” with seventy-two chapters, 800 
pages, is a textbook for every man and woman who aspires to greater 
happiness, greater prosperity, greater success. It is the daily guide of 
thousands—it will work its wonders for you.

influence of this great volume, from the pen of the famous 
writer and lecturer, David V. Bush? 

In extensive lecture tours over the U. S. and Canada, 
Dr. Bush has met thousands of people—helped them in 
countless ways. He has lectured to millions. He has filled 
to overflowing the greatest auditoriums in the greatest 
cities. He has come in direct contact with all classes of

kinds. 

Again and again he has seen men and women succeed

How to Harness Your Subconscious 


Mind 


A VAST RESERVOIR of mental energy! A huge storehouse of brain 
Power! That s the Subconscious Mind. You’ve got it Your 
friendls have it. Everyone has it. But not one in a thousand knows 
how to use it. 


I can show you exactly how to awaken your Subconscious Mind_ 

how to harness it—how to make it work for you—how to make it 
solve problems—how to make it remember things—how to use its vast 
creative powehs to boost your success and double your money-making 
ability. 

Here is a simple illustration of how the Subconscious Mind works: 
Supp 9 se you go to bed at night desiring to awaken at 7 o’clock in the 
morning. As you go to sleep you keep saying to yourself, “I am going 
to wake up at 7 o’clock.” You resolve to awake at that time. That 
is auto-suggestion—one of the recognized ways of using the Sub¬ 
conscious Mind. 

What happens? The answer is almost invariably the same. You 
awaken at exactly the time you resolve to awaken. This has been 
thousands of times by thousands of people. Your Subconscious 
Mind counts the hours—counts the minutes—watches over the time 
like a silent guardian. The Subconscious Mind is always there—waiting 
to serve you. It is your faithful slave. It can do great things as well 
as little things. You need only know how to command it. 


Why I Can Help You Succeed 

In ray extended lecture tours over the United States and Canada, 
I have met thousands of people—helped them in countless ways. I 
have lectured to millions. I have filled to overflowing the greatest 
auditoriums in the greatest cities. I have come in direct contact with 
all classes of men and women—rich and poor—young and old—proud 
and humble—thinkers, toilers, and workers of all kinds. 

Again and again I have seen men and women succeed because they 
learned to use the vast powers of the Subconscious Mind. Again and 
again I have seen men and women do just the opposite—seen them 
fail—seen them remain in unpleasant, poorly paid jobs, simply because 
they never learned to use the Subconscious Mind. 

The Subconscious Mind can work wonders. It can keep you cheer¬ 
ful when other's are downhearted. It can boost you to success when 
others are heading for failure. 

When others are worrying, you can be free from worry. When 
others fear you can have complete self confidence. When others 
hesitate, you can forge ahead . When others are doing low-paid, 
disagreeable work, you can get high pay for doing work you love. 
It all depends on YOU—whether you are willing to unlock the flood¬ 
gates of your Subconscious Mind. 

What the Subconscious Mind Can Do For You 

In this 'soul-searching book, “How to Put the Subconscious Mind 
to Work,” I show you exactly how to release this great force—how to 
control it—how to multiply its effect—how to make it work for you. 

I show you how to end worry, how to gain self confidence, how to 
develop a perfect memory, how to make your mind accomplish 
things while you sleep—how to solve difficult problems. 

Once you have mastered this power of releasing the Subconscious 
Mind, you have success within your grasp. You can command a better 
job. You can demand bigger pay. You can work shorter hours and 
accomplish more. 

No ambition is too high—no goal too distant. You can quickly 
and easily accomplish things which in the past have seemed impossible. 
You can astound your friends with your rapid strides towards wealth 
and high position. It’s up to you. It all depends on whether you are 
willing to try.

THE SILENCE 

What It Is and How To Use It 

The power of Mind by right thinking to gain 
health, success, and happiness has been proved in 
thousands of cases. 

Right thinking moulds character, makes happi¬ 
ness—restores lost health and rejuvenates the en¬ 
tire being. Only through the action of a passive 
mind—a mind free from turmoil and disorder—can 
we attune our positive elements to receive and act 
upon positive thoughts. 

In “The Silence,” Dr. Bush has opened the door 
of hope to all men and women who are earnestly 
seeking a way to re-harmonize themselves for suc¬ 
cess, health and happiness. 

This book explains fully the value of the 
“Silence,” and tells you just how to enter the Silence 
for healing vibrations. 

It gives you the affirmations to use and tells you 
when and how to use them. 

This book will be of practical help and inspiration 
to you—it will help you attain many good things 
in life—it will show you how to restore good health 
to others and yourself. 

You must surely get it. Send for a copy.

W HAT do you picture when 
you hear the word 
SPUNK? One of courage 
who knows no failure? One 
of indominatable will? One 
who faces life with a smile, 
and refuses to surrender no matter what the opposition, 
the trial, the tribulation? This priceless quality of cour¬ 
age that the English speaking people designate by the 
word SPUNK, as a more expressive definition of a char¬ 
acteristic loved and admired by all people, is the subject 
of a very interesting and highly helpful new book by Dr. 
Bush, who of all men should know what SPUNK means 
in its fullest sense. 


Spunk 


It was SPUNK that carried Napoleon on against ter¬ 
rific opposition to greatness. It was SPUNK that led 
Lincoln from the log cabin to immortal fame. It was 
SPUNK that brought the United States of America into 
existence. SPUNK will carry you far. SPUNK is nothing 
more than the courage of conviction, the will to do, the 
unconquerable desire to win—the never-say-die spirit 
that enables you to use in fullest measure the talents that 
God has given you, and the knowledge of the inexhaust¬ 
ible power of the mind that is yours. 


This new book by Dr. Bush is an inspiring summons to 
courage. You can develop SPUNK. You can utilize 
SPUNK on every occasion needed. No matter how timid 
you may believe yourself now, no 
you accept, no matter what things 
ture, you can develop your 
spirit of SPUNK and win. 

Send for this volume of 
strength; read it, know its 
secrets, and build your cour¬ 
age to conquer. The price 
is 50c.

“Bush Famous Little Library” 


A Series of 25c Booklets that Will 
Help You Find Your Niche in Life 

By DAVID V. BUSH 

The Influence of Suggestion and 
Auto-Suggestion 

In this booklet David V. Bush discusses Suggestion and Auto¬ 
suggestion from a different angle than that in “Practical Psychology 
and Sex Life” and “Applied Psychology and Scientific Living.” He 
takes the practical side of Suggestion and points out its value and use¬ 
fulness. He explains the limitations of Suggestion and deals in a different 
way with the mental laws that control this powerful factor for your suc¬ 
cess. No matter what thought you have given to this interesting subject 
—no matter how much you have studied Suggestion, you will be sur¬ 
prised and delighted with the plain everyday way in which Dr. Bush 
explains this mental phenomenon. 

This is a different angle of Suggestion than in either “Applied Psychol¬ 
ogy and Scientific Living” or “Practical Psychology and Sex Life.” 
This pamphlet not only deals differently with the law of Suggestion as 
mentioned above, but it is most entertaining, readable and likeable from 
the practical side of suggestion. There will be stimulation, inspiration and 
mental cerebration in reading this pamphlet—“The Influence of Sug¬ 
gestion.” 

You will welcome this booklet as a new avenue for increasing your 
knowledge of this fascinating study and you will acquire a newer and 
different understanding of its usefulness. 

By all means secure this book without delay. Your copy is ready. 
Just 25 cents, coin or stamps, will start it by first mail.

*WHAT IS GOD? 

What is your idea of God? Do you think of God as a great 
being, living above the clouds, handing out health and wealth 
to some, and death and damnation to others ? Does your 
thought of God fill you with fear and gloom, or with joy and 
happiness ? 

Read what David V. Bush has to say of what God is. Dr. 
Bush will change your orthodox idea of a terrifying, death¬ 
dealing, penalizing God into the new concept of the Essence 
of All-Good, health, wealth, success, joy, strength, power, 
abundance and all else desirable. The author shows that while 
God is the power that guides us aright, He leaves it to our 
own subconscious inner powers to penalize us when we do 
wrong. 

Thousands have tried to define Him—to grasp an under¬ 
standing of His divine Spirit—David V. Bush, the noted lec¬ 
turer, teacher and psychologist, has written a very interesting 
little book in which he deals with the Where and the How of 
Go. 

His answer to “What is God” is one that will awaken you 
to a new understanding of God. You will realize after reading 
this interesting book why God is your Guide and Counsellor 
at all times—How He is—Why He is—and How you may 
understand Him. 

This author shows that we are part of the All-good, and 
therefore, we are part of God, and as such we have the power 
that He has. 

There is comfort, wisdom, and satisfaction in this little 
volume, and if you read it once, you will reread it many times 
for the joy and consolation which it gives. 

Do not miss reading this new and intensely interesting an¬ 
swer to “What Is God?” 

Heavy cardboard cover—price, per copy, 25c.

HOW TO VISUALIZE 

Rules for Visualizing 

T O visualize and concentrate successfully, certain definite 
principles underlying the laws that control the functions 
of the mind must be understood and applied. My experi¬ 
ence in thousands of cases shows that failure is often due to the 
wrong application of these laws—to a misunderstanding of the 
mental processes necessary to properly focus the thought waves 
upon some definite desire and the urge of the conscious mind 
for too hasty action. 

The laws of visualization and concentration are well defined 
and when properly exercised are without limitation as to suc¬ 
cess, but to accomplish results one must understand and use 
these laws properly. 

You will more readily grasp the principle that governs the 
laws of visualization and concentration after reading this 
book. i 

In it, David V. Bush has gone right down to bed rock—he 
thoroughly explains these necessary laws—he puts you right 
and shows you your mistakes—he starts you off on the right 
foot so that you may apply these laws for your benefit and 
profit. 

Dr. Bush believes, from his own vast experience, that more 
people fail on concentration and visualization than on any other 
operation of the laws of mind now being studied or applied, 
because they only partly understand these laws. In this pam¬ 
phlet he shows why the vast majority of people fail in visual¬ 
izing. There are natural laws which are very often cross-cir¬ 
cuited by well intentioned people trying to operate them for 
their good, all because they fail to understand the right way. 
You will understand visualization after you read “How to Visu- 
alize.” 

Send for this book today—you will understand this subject 
after reading it—you need it now—send 25c in stamps or coin.

Affirmations and How to 
Use Them 

The importance of the principle of affirmation in bringing 
into manifestation any desired condition or thing is now recog¬ 
nized by nearly every one; by all Psychologists, all students 
of the Silence, by Scientific men and by almost all church 
members and non-church members. 

This new booklet on Affirmations and How to Use Them, 
by David V. Bush, is intended as a handbook for all who 
desire to use the principle of affirming in their daily lives, 
affirming health, success and happiness. This booklet contains 
affirmations for use in approximately one hundred conditions 
and situations, both general and specific. The affirmations 
given will be effective in practically any conceivable case. They 
cover the field of abundance, success, prosperity, happiness, 
love, business, domestic inharmony and health, and they 
will also suggest to the user other affirmations to fit his own 
particular desires and requirements. There are specific affirma¬ 
tions for specific diseases, conditions and difficulties. 

This book is a gold mine for those who would apply 
the psychological law of affirmation and formula. By its use 
one can bring into his life anything he desires—health, wealth, 
position, power, peace; by its use he can overcome any handicap, 
any obstacle, any disease, and win for himself his divine inheri¬ 
tance from God.

The Hidden Power of Thought 

(Formerly Your Mind Power) 


People who were ill have been shown by David V. Bush how 
to become well and strong by a method to which other mental 
science movements were as the first step in a mammoth, far- 
reaching stairway. 

The worried and the nervous have been shown how to rise 
above their mental and nervous troubles in a single evening 
and how to attack and solve their problems with a keener mind 
unhampered by despair. 

An Astounding New Power 

But that isn’t all. As wonderful as it is, to have the secret of mental 
and physical health in one’s grasp—there is a still greater force at work 
in the universe. This force can be harnessed in such a way as to bring 
us the MATERIAL things we want—money, power, influence, no mat¬ 
ter what it is. And Dr. Bush has harnessed this force; has proved its 
value in his own case; and has proved time and again that he can show 
others how to use this power. 

"By your method of visualization I secured the funds to build my 
home,” writes one of Dr. Bush’s Chicago listeners. Mrs. Mary Roberts 
of Denver writes, “My salary was increased 40% in one week by fol¬ 
lowing your psychological method and my powers of salesmanship were 
DOUBLED.” 


‘When You Need This Book 

Are you nervous or depressed? Do you feel old? Have you lost your 
grip? Have you a worrying disposition? Have you a personality that 
fails to attract others? Are you timid? Are you misunderstood? Do 
others seem inclined to give you always the worst of everything? Do 
you lack the aggressiveness necessary to bring you position and power? 
Are you in ill health? Have you any chronic disease? Is anyone in 
your family or among your friends so affected? Are your children willful 
and disobedient? 

If so, you need this book. Send for it at once. Read and practice the 
teachings of “The Hidden Power of Thought” and begin to unearth the 
great latent powers within you.
